You favorite pinball acquisition for 2009
« on: December 31, 2009, 08:58:50 AM »
Most of us have either added or swapped out games from our collection

What is your favorite pinball game that you have added to your line-up during 2009?


Even though I picked up my Spidy yesterday, I have not had enough games to get a good feel for it, so for me it had to be White Water.
Every time I play it, no matter if I have a good game or not, I just enjoy playing it.
Big foot, with his spinning head
The humor that is in the game

I love it

I picked up 3 Holy Grail titles this year.

BALLY CAPT FANTASTIC
GTB KNOCKOUT
RALLY COMICS

COMICS - 5 year chase over

CAPT FANT - 10 year chase over

KNOCKOUT - 2 year chase over

COMICS is set up, but the other 2 are projects down the line.. already have located new BG's for both.
Now the problem with new acquisitions is that SOMETHING will have to go to make room... and i only have "keepers"

Those Rally machines are quite different
As for making room, do you really need a kitchen table?????

Well, I did "accidentally" score a Viking, which was never really on my list because of its rarity. My own container was my highlight - something I'd dreamed about for 15 + years !

I picked up two games this year.. or rather stumbled across them! neither of them were wishlist titles, and both games i hadn't seen or played before... Zac Universe and Gtb Quick Draw. Not bad really when you consider that in the 20 odd yrs i've been into this hobby i only averaged about one game every two years!!

Got one more coming soon though soon as i can organise it... and it will be a wishlist title #*#

Pins make great kitchen tables, just keep the glass clean. Need a bigger table? add another pin. I use my machines to sit my beer on (while i'm playing them).
